"A state must provide educators with optional classroom assessment procedures
that can measure students' progress in attaining content standards not assessed
by state tests (Requirement 4).
"The Commission[on Instructionally Supportive Assessment]'s fourth requirement
works in tandem with the Commission's initial requirement that states create
accountability tests focused on a smaller number of high priority content
standards and, as a consequence, contain sufficient numbers of items to yield
standard-by-standard reports of the content standards measured."
Reading First, DIBELS and ERDA provide tools for reading instruction and
assessment. They provide data to support instructional decisions.
